TUTORIAL: making a jelly text effect

Let's make other food text effect. It's a text made of a soft green jelly.

To create this one, go to this free online text effect and set it this way:
- Text: GREEN JELLY (type as desired);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 5;
- Background color: 004080;
- Font name: SF Gushing Meadow SC.

Making as explained, it's the image you create (click to enlarge):


Extra tips:
- the chosen font is responsible for the melting look. For this kind of effect, very irregular font faces are the best ones;
- I have made several tests and I think the final image gets better when using a dark background color (but not too dark);
- create many interesting text effects by trying this huge list of free text effects.

Today I tell you how to get a holed text made of mercury (or even melted chrome). Hope you enjoy this metallic text effect.

You can make it by opening this free metallic text effect and putting these values in its interface:

Extra tips:
- in fact, I have used a silver text generator to create this effect;
- to get a holed text, I have chosen an appropriate font face. A font change can make you lose the holes and maybe the mercury appearance;
- there is no very special reason for the yellow background. My intention was to emphasize the metallic text. Try your own color composition;
- generate professional metallic texts by using this free set of online text effects.
